the grass is always green where you're not

Dang.. The accents for the previous post didn't come out right..

Anyway I've come to the conclusion that it's pretty pointless in thinking that after doing this, or once i buy that, or once i get to this point i want to get to, I will finally be satisfied. There is no such thing as a better girlfriend, a smoother drumset(of course if you wanna mail me a dw set pls don't stop now), a nicer workplace, all because "better" is not a constant. It's just a mad and endless chase from one point to another. It's just an occupational hazard that most of us cannot shake off, and that is to keep ourselves busy. When life is more on the repetitive side we look for adventure, and when we get too tired of the insecurity that adventures bring we long for a quiet life by the countryside. In the most uncliche-ish cliches, the grass is always greener on the other side.

Sure we should look for betterment and embrace change. But sometimes we just gotta look out for delusions which brings us longing for our old little grass patch, or for some, a field of Venus flytraps in the Addams Family backyard.

Not many people make drastic decisions with drastic implications every other week or month. Some wait their whole life pining for the one day to take that taxi to the great unknown, and that's when they find that the grass may not be greener, or even as green, but one day it will be as glorious as when God walked in the garden of eden.

That's just a theory. I'm still at the stage of recognizing that i should stop field-hopping. I look forward to the day when God tells me to move (or stay) because I know that's the best(maybe worst it will seem?) place to be.




Why do people train to play fast? The top drummers in the world don't play even half of their grooves and fills at their top speed. It's because when they can play fast, they can play slow easy and effortlessly.
